The Covid-19 crisis, given its truly global impact, has shone a stark light on the truth of what has been achieved pre-pandemic in terms of robust and enduring social inclusion and social welfare in developing world tourism destinations.
“The Covid-19 crisis is having sweeping consequences on tourism jobs and enterprises, notably on small and medium enterprises which account for around 80% of tourism businesses globally”, according to The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, which has had an inevitable impact on the people who power the tourism product we so value.
